High-energy acoustic guitar interplay meets raspy, lived-in storytelling. Passionate folk-rock that feels like a long conversation in a crowded pub.
Ezio sounds like the best band you've ever stumbled upon in a small, sweat-soaked venue. At the core is the magnetic chemistry between Ezio Lunedei’s gritty, emotive vocals and Mark 'Booga' Fowell’s virtuosic, fluid lead guitar. It is music that breathes with the effort of its creation, prioritizing the tactile thrum of acoustic strings and the rhythmic drive of hand percussion over studio trickery.
What truly sets them apart is the 'Latin feet' mentioned in their most famous album title; there is a rhythmic complexity and a percussive urgency to their folk that feels more Mediterranean or South American than traditional English pastoral. The songs are often long, winding narratives that build from a whisper to a frantic, strummed crescendo, capturing the messy reality of relationships and self-reflection.
Start with 'Black Boots on Latin Feet' to hear them at their most iconic. It perfectly captures the transition from intimate folk duo to a more expansive, rhythmic ensemble sound, showcasing the songwriting that has sustained their cult following for over three decades.
Ezio is a folk band from Cambridge, England, formed in 1990. They are named after their lead singer and main composer, Ezio Lunedei.
